Canid is an EMR‑embedded platform that automates vaccine administration, inventory management, and billing for pediatric and family medicine practices. By scanning a single barcode, it pulls patient data, validates safety, updates digital inventory, generates insurer‑specific claims, and reports to state registries, while also purchasing vaccines and handling VFC compliance. The solution reduces manual workflow, eliminates upfront stock costs, and improves revenue capture and compliance reporting.

Problem
Practices spend extensive time on manual vaccine workflows—including patient eligibility checks, lot‑number entry, inventory tracking, multi‑system documentation, and complex billing—leading to staff burnout, revenue loss, and compliance risk.
Solution
Canid integrates directly into a practice’s EMR as a lightweight extension that automates the entire vaccine administration process. By scanning a single barcode, the system pulls the patient record, validates safety criteria, records lot information, updates inventory, prepares insurer‑specific billing codes, and syncs data back to the EMR and state immunization registries. Canid also purchases private vaccines, manages digital inventory with 24/7 auto‑ordering, and covers waste, eliminating upfront stock costs. A dedicated billing team submits claims under the practice’s NPI, absorbs any underpayments, and handles denials, while VFC eligibility, borrowing, and audit‑ready reconciliation are managed automatically. The platform provides real‑time dashboards, population reporting, and automated outreach tools to improve immunization rates and revenue capture.
Target Audience
Canid is designed for pediatric and family medicine practices that administer vaccines, including those with mixed private and VFC patient populations, and for health systems seeking to streamline vaccine inventory, billing, and compliance.
